According to the details of the news, Steven Gerrard could be the manager of Aston Villa in a matter of days.

The Steven Gerrard and Aston Villa bromance

The English legend has been a top target for the Aston Villa executives for quite some time now.

Ever since the sack of Dean Smith, the body language of these executives have highlighted in no uncertain terms that Steven Gerrard is their prime target.

For the time being, Gerrard remains the coach of Rangers FC. However, once Aston Villa are able to pay his 2.5million release clause, then they can begin to have negotiation talks with him directly.

Villa executives are desperate to utilize the international break

Another factor that plays into the hands of the closure of this deal, is the timing of the international break.

On their part, Aston Villa remain without a manager and would be desperate to have one before the weekend.

Although this weekend would not be seeing players in their club teams, getting a manager to prepare the club players still remains essential.

Summary

All these point to the fact that Steven Gerrard could be appointed as Aston Villa manager anytime soon.

However, we keep our fingers crossed and see how events pan out.
